Fruits of Virtue: An Early History of St. Joseph’s College, Colombo is a meticulously researched and richly illustrated work by Avishka Mario Senewiratne and Dr. Srilal Fernando. Published in late 2022, this limited collector’s edition (only 400 copies) offers an in-depth exploration of the origins and formative years of one of Sri Lanka’s most esteemed Catholic educational institutions.
The book delves into the establishment of St. Joseph’s College between 1892 and 1936, contextualizing its founding within the socio-political landscape of late 19th and early 20th-century Ceylon. It highlights the pivotal role of both ecclesiastical and lay benefactors who, inspired by Archbishop Bonjean’s 1892 pastoral letter on education, contributed to the college's inception. The authors trace the journey from the initial plan to purchase the 'Uplands' estate in Mutwal to the eventual acquisition of the Lake House property on Darley Road, where the college was established. This narrative underscores the challenges and perseverance involved in securing a suitable location for the institution.
